Yesterday was windy but sunny and today it's, so far, only windy. Snow is supposed to begin to fall later today and it is said to continue for the next 48 hours. They have promised a total of approximately 30 cm/12 inches of snow and wind around 14-18 metres per second/31-40 mph, which sounds rather daunting.

The pink buds in the photo above give an indication of what it looked like yesterday and I'm simply hoping that they won't fare too badly in the upcoming days. I really long for spring!

UPDATE: Below is an example of what it looked like this morning, i.e. not as much snow as expected, but extremely windy (which doesn't show in the photo of course).
